Philosophy

The Law Office of Diane F. Russell strives to provide its clients with the highest quality of legal representation. In living this philosophy, I realize and respect that I must be an understanding and empathetic advocate for my clients.

I know that many of my clients visit an attorney's office in less than ideal situations. My philosophy is grounded in the belief that I should achieve results for my clients that are not necessarily 100% "legalistic," but that also look at the real world consequences of those actions. This philosophy allows me to achieve a result for my clients that is substantially better than my client would have received without my services.

I am also strongly committed to ensuring that Kitsap County and the Olympic Peninsula have a good quality of life. To achieve this philosophy, I serve our community through charitable giving, pro bono legal work and involvement in community groups.
